Though most are happy that Skype has launched an Android application, users in the U.S. aren’t too excited with the notion that voice calls will be limited to a Wi-Fi connection while mobile data connections (GPRS, EDGE, 3G) can be utilized by those outside the country. Skype’s Android application was launched on October 5th, but someone has already figured out a way to turn voice calls over a mobile data connection back on for those in the U.S.

DroidForums.net reports that one of their members, xeudoxus, was able to hack Skype for Android in fifteen minutes and a link to download the modified app is now available. The application should be downloaded to a phone’s memory card and installed using a file manager application.

An Android version of Skype was first available exclusively to Verizon Wireless subscribers back in March after the carrier announced that it would carry Skype calls over its voice network without charging a subscriber’s voice or data plan. Limiting the newest Skype for Android application to require a Wi-Fi connection for voice calls would continue to give Verizon Wireless an edge over other carriers when it comes to attracting Skype users. It looks like that edge didn’t last long.
